Posting a Project is like Setting a Pokemon Lure

Think of Freelancer.com as your PokeStop. Around the vicinity are your freelancers, always on the lookout for great projects to work on. Want to attract them? Then it’s time to post a project! Make your project as detailed as possible. While the skills and type of work will immediately filter the freelancers fit for your project, putting in an interesting project name and a comprehensive description of the project will help freelancers understand that you’re a serious employer.

Top Tip: Know Your Freelancers’ Limitations

A true Pokemon trainer knows the limits of their Pokemon; much the same way, a smart employer knows freelancers have their own specialties and quirks. You won’t send a Bulbasaur to battle a Charizard -- everyone knows fire attacks are fatal to grass Pokemon! Similarly, you won’t ask a freelance graphic designer to do copywriting for you. Forcing these moves runs the risk of losing your best, Pokemon and freelancer alike.

In doubt? Check out your freelancers’ skills and portfolio on their Freelancer.com profile. That will help you assess whether they’re able to do the work properly.

While You’re At It, Why Not Upgrade Your Project?

Did you know upgrading your project by availing of the Recruiter service can ensure 250% success rate for your project? You can also list projects with the Urgent upgrade, and even tell freelancers you’re looking to hire full-time. Don’t want other freelancers to see their fellow applicants’ bids? Then getting the Sealed upgrade is perfect for you!
